My Makeup Mix haul!

Yatta!

I picked up my Makeup Mix shop haul today at the post office.


& of course, the best part of receiving a package is opening it! As soon as i opened it, i was actually surprised to find out that it's mostly consists of NYX items....hehe...as what i said before, i forgot what i ordered & i don't want to check the confirmation mail on my inbox because i want it to be a surprise....& surprised i was!

Anyhow, this is the contents of the package:
-NYX Doll Eye Mascara : Long Lash
-NYX Concealer in a jar : Beige
-NYX Jumbo Pencil : Milk (i've been wanting this one for so long!)
-NYX Fruit Lip Gloss : Strawberry
-NYX Round Lipstick : Femme
-NYX Round Lipstick : Thalia
-L.A. COLORS Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer : White
-AVON Haiku Parfum Spray



What's great about it is that I got some freebies!
Isn't the owner just so uber nice?! (i think her name is Toma, i think i read it on Nikki's blog) & she even wrote a handwritten thank you message on it....Im touched...

The one on that cute silver pouch is a NYX Megashine Lip Gloss in Burgundy & a sample jar of Makeup Masala Minerals in Priya... & that's not all... just looking at the pic..you will see that i got another one...
look....
did you see it?...
can you identify what it is?....
no?....
ok...ill give you a close up look...


See that.... I got 3!!!
(oh & also the handwritten 'thank you' message...due to some circumstances, i have to erase my real name...sorry about that...but isn't that just so sweet!it got a personal touch!)
She even included a sample baggie of Vishesh pigment...doesn't that color just look great? The pigments are great! Here is a swatch of the 2 that i got:

I dunno what happened to my camera, but Vishesh is actually a plum-like red shimmer... & its really gorgeous! Priya on the other hand is like a light beige sheen.

As for the other stuff, I don't think i'll be using the Dolleye Mascara yet since i still have a few mascaras with me. Ill just keep that for now. Im not a lipstick person so for the round lipsticks ill be trying it out if i have the chance to go out.

The Haiku perfume, i included it because i can still remember the time that Avon released it that i liked it. Although i did not buy it at that time, but i remember that i wanted to buy it before but for some reason i didn't. Based on Makeup Alley, most people find it good, so i might as well just try it out for myself.

For the next few days Im gonna have my hands full trying out the products that i have..This will keep me occupied since I'll be taking this whole month off from work. I wanted to be able to relax for some time, since i can't even remember taking a vacation from work for the past couple of years.....

I lost my job because of the economic crisis...& i felt before that it was the end of the world...lol!...but now im thinking that it's not exactly that bad...

I got a job...actually the companies that i applied for accepted me & now im having a tough time deciding what company i will choose...

& now i can take a vacation..isn't that just great...?!

Life just works in ways that we can't understand..
its just up to us how we are going to make the most out of it...

Ok,back to my haul....
ill do a couple of reviews as soon as i have tried & tested most of them....
so,until the next time,ladies!

Have a great day & always smile!

Hi! :) I want NYX JEP in Milk too, but I cant find one lately.that's such a great haul btw. oh please email me if you want the CS Eye Poxy Primer. :) it's emocare@gmail.com =)

xxNikkiDooxx said...

hello. :) why'd you pick it up the PO? dont they deliver it to your home?

Jem said...

it depends on the sender if they choose a registered mail or unregistered..

if the sender choose unregistered then it will be delivered straight to the house..

i tried it before when i ordered from StrawberryNET & i will never ever try it again..because not only did it took a month before i got my package, but i still picked it up at the PO..

but then i don't mind picking it up

suspense is a part of opening packages,neh?

Believe in B.liv's Dump Off Drawn! I do!

I was contacted by B.liv weeks ago to try out their products. I have been so lazy in applying any skin care products lately that I can alrea...
